The error message seems to be indicating that your app isn't allow to access the local path (not the remote Dropbox path). That being the case, this seems to be more of an Android issue, so I'm afraid I can't offer much insight. You'll need to look in to why your app can't access that local file path, or if that's not the right path, what is.
